As members and visitors have noticed, the 'server is busy' messages on AB, these a due to the servers being overloaded due to 2 large vB forums on the servers.

There's my forums, Animeboards.com which even now it it's slow activity receive 200+ users online (mainly guests) and 8,000+ visitors/day still. And there's our hosts' forums Disboards.com, which is nearly 10x times larger than AB, with over 8.3 million posts, 77k members and up to 1,800+ users online at a time.

Well Animeboards.com's forum database has been moved to the new database server. You should notice the difference in speed but if you have any problems please let me know in the Contact Admin forum here http://animeboards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=5

Enjoy guys and a big THANK YOU goes to our hosting sponsors, Disboards.com!

yes you will temporarily get some server busy messages these are coming from the web server not database server as Disboards.com are doing their forum database back up and restore on the new server right now and that would place a bit more load as the single web server as that web server is servicing both old and new database servers right as this moment.

Once Disboards.com moves completely to new database server, then the loads will settle down.

Reason for this is the old database server no longer can handle the loads of the 2 forums particularly Disboards.com which grew from 2-3million posts when the old database server came online to 8.3+ million posts right now.
